12 minutes of Armageddon

In the book Matzmiach Yeshua (He who brings about salvation). there is a passage in which the author reports that the Vilna Gaon zt"l (the genius of Vilnius) (1720-1797) said that the war between Gog and Magog - popularly known as Armageddon outside the Jewish world - will last twelve minutes. In those 12 minutes, one third of the world will die, one third will be injured and one third will survive.
